Jones, more normally a centre-half, had made his debut in Montenegro at right-back last month and was employed in midfield against the Spanish on Saturday. The Manchester United teenager featured on Tuesday night anchoring the central trio in a position in which Scott Parker has excelled.

"It was good to see him in the position where Parker usually plays," said Capello. "It's different to the back four and he played really well. Also Rodwell, as a midfielder. At the end of the season I will decide on my squad. I hope that all the midfield will be fit but Rodwell is a really interesting player. A young player. The competition to play at the Euros will be really, really strong and I hope that competition involves all these players."
